Is It? I know it looks that way but looks are deceiving. How much of a pass rush does this defense produce on any given down? Look over the season and you'll see very fucking little. Between DLine and LB'ers this defense is soft and sorry. Heyward was the only consistent pass rusher and even he fell off towards the end. Tuitt started out strong until his bicep injury and finished with a whimper. Alualu did a decent job but was still in his learning curve which limited his production. We all know about Hargrave's unmentioned injury that limited his production. Can you imagine a rotation of Heyward, Tuitt, Hargrave, Alualu and Wilkerson? With LT Walton thrown into the mix. A good pass rush starts with the front 7. A good pass defense is aided by a good pass rush. It's likely not a reality signing a big name like Wilkerson anyway. Just a wishful thought from a fan.Steelers-By-Position: D-Line http://www.steelers.com/news/labriola-o ... eada55ef4b

Steelers were ranked ninth in QB pressures and didn't they finish first in team sacks and tied with Jax for first in sacks per game?

Yes, OLB sacks pressure not what we want, but clearly our secondary is drowning in a pool of dicks.

No...looks aren’t deceiving.

The secondary blew coverages left and right...as Lit pointed out, we got good pressure this year, but if a guy is coming wide open because our DBs drop coverages, no amount of pressure is going to get there in time.
